Two quick Pontus questions

[General Appo]

My guess for question number 2 is that the gymnasion means you are focusing more on Hellenic customs and shit, and the Zurkhaneh that you are sticking with the more traditional Persian stuff. Building both probably wouldn´t work. But do it this way, if you take a Hellenised city, say Ipsos, then you build a gym, as the Hellens there are more likely to appreciate it. And if you take say Media or Parthyaia, then you build a Zurkhaneh, as that´s what locals are most likely to appreciate.

The bonuses on the level after that level might vary based on what you choose now.

Thanks for the insights guys. Just to clear a couple things up, you cannot build both and i'm pretty certain they both upgrade into the same building. With my little knowledge of modding I have been unsuccessful so far. I think where I went wrong is that I do not know how to add another type of building into the files. Assuming that, to be able to build both you would need to take the zurkhaneh out of the amphitheatre group in the export_descr_buildings file and place it into a new building group which you also created in some other file.

Most buildings in EB have been designed to allow you 5 different levels; however the engine-side buildings allow for 9. This gives you the ability to overload buildings, say you want to split thech-trees:

Precursor A0 upgrades{A1,A5} bonus lvl 1
Level A1 upgrades {A2} bonus lvl 2
...
Level A3 upgrades {A4} bonus lvl 4
Level A4 bonus lvl 5
Level A5 upgrades {A6} bonus lvl 2
...
Level A7 upgrades {A8} bonus lvl 4
Level A8 bonus lvl 5

However, AFAIK, you cannot 'down-grade'/'upgrade' i.e.:

Level A7 cannot upgrade to Level A4 instead of Level A8. (Hence you cannot build gymnaseia over persian equivalents.)

This thec-tree splitting allows for various things, among others to have a full set of barracks for two reforms on only one building slot; or to stack 9 unique buildings away as one building type; or differentiate between colonies of type a and colonies of type b.

Thanks for the info Tellos, lol things are much more complicated than I thought.

I think pontus to weak ! after all they were the last greeks to resist the dirty romans

Oh ? Merely out of curiosity, how do you propose they be "strenghtened" in a way historically accurate then ?

I'm not going to even touch the rank shallowness of your historical analysis.
